For more than a century, scientists have treated the brain as the undisputed command center of human evolution, with the rest ...

After eight weeks with a new set of gut microbes, mice can begin to show brain gene-activity patterns that resemble the ...

Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

This valuable study links psychological theories of chunking with a physiological implementation based on short-term synaptic plasticity and synaptic augmentation. The theoretical derivation for ...

Memory formation and maintenance fundamentally rely on intricate molecular processes that regulate synaptic strength. Central to this phenomenon is synaptic plasticity – the capacity of neural ...

A review paper by scientists at Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication presented  a thorough review of the existing ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...
